Cellular Respiration pp. 77 to 82 What is it? • A process to convert glucose to ATP in order to obtain energy • Occurs in all organisms (plants and animals) – Plants continue their quest to get food (glucose is made in photosynthesis. Cellular respiration continues the process) Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Chemical Energy C6H12O6 6O2 6CO2 6H2O 36 ATP Types of Cellular Respiration 1. Aerobic cellular respiration • • • Uses oxygen in process Makes large # of ATP molecules Primary process for humans 2. Anaerobic cellular respiration • • No oxygen is used Makes small # of ATP molecules Aerobic Respiration 1. Glycolysis (in cytoplasm) • A molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) is broken two into 2 molecules of pyruvate (C3H6O3). Energy is released (2 ATP) 2. Oxidative Respiration (in mitochondria) • The 2 pyruvates react with 6 molecules of O2 (that is inhaled) to make 6 molecules of CO2 and 6 molecules of water. Energy is released (34 ATP). Oxidative respiration 36 ATP total! Anaerobic Respiration • No oxygen, but ATP still can be made from glucose in a special way! Occurs in cytoplasm of cell. 1. Ethanol Fermentation (bread, liquor, soy sauce, etc) 2. Lactic Acid Fermentation (heavy exercise) Ethanol Fermentation 1. Glycolysis - Glucose broken down into 2 pyruvate. Energy is released (2 ATP). 2. Enzyme converts the 2 pyruvates to CO2 and ethanol. • • Baking bread yeast eats the glucose in flour and expels CO2 and ethanol (sweet smell). Ethanol evaporates when baked. Alcohol yeast eats glucose in sugary grape juice and expels CO2 and ethanol. Lactic Acid Fermentation • When working out, humans convert glucose into ATP to get energy to sustain workout. • Glucose broken down into 2 pyruvates. Energy is released (2 ATP). • Eventually, oxygen cannot keep up with demands of glucose conversion (there is just not enough oxygen for this amount of energy needed) • Enzyme in muscle cells convert the 2 pyruvates into lactic acid • The more lactic acid, the more sore/stiff your muscles are. Aerobic vs. Anaerobic • With oxygen • Occurs in mitochondria of cell • 36 ATP molecules made • More efficient • Plants, animals use this • No oxygen • Occurs in cytoplasm of cell • 2 ATP molecules made • Less efficient • Simple organisms (yeast, bacteria, etc) use this; humans doing heavy exercise Unit Test – Oct. 2nd • Multiple Choice (8 questions) • Short Answer – Labelling (4 parts to label & their functions) – Choose 3 out of 4 pair of terms to compare & contrast – 1 very short answer pertaining to passive transport • Longer Answer – Choose 2 out of 3 questions to answer – Emphasis is on cellular processes! (eg. How certain things work – lock and key, a type of respiration, etc)
